.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBpicl_get_first_prop()\fR function gets the handle of the first property
of the node specified by \fInodeh\fR and copies it into the location given by
\fIproph\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBpicl_get_next_prop()\fR function gets the handle of the next property
after the one specified by \fIproph\fR from the property list of the node, and
copies it into the location specified by \fInextprop\fR.
.sp
.LP
If there are no more properties, this function returns \fBPICL_ENDOFLIST\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fB0\fR is returned. On failure, a non-negative
integer is returned to indicate an error.
.sp
.LP
\fBPICL_ENDOFLIST\fR is returned to indicate that there are no more properties.
.sp
.LP
\fBPICL_STALEHANDLE\fR is returned if the handle is no longer valid. This
occurs if the PICL tree was refreshed or reinitialized.
.sp
.LP
\fBPICL_INVALIDHANDLE\fR is returned if the specified handle never existed.
This error may be returned for a previously valid handle if the daemon was
brought down and restarted. When this occurs a client must revalidate any saved
handles.
